Actually, Don is Neneh's step-dad.   And when I was studying with Don,
Neneh was hanging out.  This was back in the 70s, so she was barely a
teenager, if that.   She was speaking in Swedish with Don's son Eagle
Eye, who was even younger, so I laid the three Swedish words I knew on
them "tah day lundt" (excuse the spelling) which means "Take it Easy"
They were surprised.

I understand that Neneh is going to be on Don's next album.
